More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You pull off the A-367 and the world opens: a ragged limestone gorge, El Tajo, splits the town and the bridge stands like a hand across it. The Guadalevín River murmurs below, pushing the town’s stone edges into dramatic cliffs. From the Puente Nuevo the air tastes dry and ancient; olive groves spill down the slopes and the white houses cling to steep streets that invite slow exploration.
